Would that be too large (and too early) for the Test Track refurbishment? I suppose the other possible project that would necessitate that type of trailer complex would be Brazil?

10 trailers is a huge complex, especially when WDI has an office behind Epcot already. Isn't it near Test Track, or am I thinking of something else?
A refurb of an existing ride wouldn't require that much resources, in my estimation. It will be a relatively simple project, compared to others they have going on.
Now, adding a country...that would take some serious office space. But again, I have seen no paperwork filed anywhere that leads me to believe any new development at Epcot will be taking place in the near future.

I thought the WDI office is behind Mission Space?
Where would there be enough room to set up 10 trailers? The lot behind the Outpost?
I still do not see the need for that many trailers for even adding a country. That is a lot of office space! They do not have that many trailers set up for the Fantasyland expansion or should I say that much square ft of office space since they now seem to have semi permanent buildings on site at the SToLport.
Very curious.

I wonder what this is all about?

Directly behind WoL is the current WDI office. That would explain the location, but not the reason.

Sorry for the delay. I've been out of town, but SeaCastle researched the permits this week in my stead.
The 16th provided an assortment of fun filings, including some work at the American Adventure in preparation for Christmas (maybe I'll get to witness some of the work on my Backstage Magic tour on the 30th); a refurb of Rose and Crown; replacement of the Rivers of America backstage dock; and other miscellaneous items.

I just returned from WDW, and am just now catching up on last week's permits.
SeaCastle was also down in the World, and we had the great opportunity to meet in person. He was a bit delayed by Irene, but they were able to take a nice trip. I think he's returning today, so we'll be back on schedule this week.

I swear it feels like they just took all that stuff down and here we are putting it back up again.
They started building it far too soon for Avatar. The first year of Avatar development will take place in Anaheim. We won't see or hear anything else about it in FL until they get the site development package approved by the Drainage Board. It will be at that time when we see a WDI mobilization near AK - likely near the AK parade facility.
North Service Area. It's the mass of facilities immediately north of the Magic Kingdom. It was actually the first infrastructure built on property, as they needed Central Shops as a place to build the rides.
Currently, NSA includes the train garage, which has the monorail "roundhouse" above it, and a bus repair shop to the side; Central Shops, where they make everything from signs to trash cans, to entire rides; the main cooling tower for MK; a trash incinerator; a small power plant; cast parking; the Disney Institute; the Holiday Services warehouse; and a few more things. You can check it out on an online map service.
